I have an 87 Wrangler that I use for drag/street use. No 4wd needed. I already removed the transfer case. I was told the front axle tube from a 2wd US mail jeep would be usable in mine. If I could replace my front diff with that, it would shave some weight off the front. Anyone have any idea of what parts I need from the Postal Jeep to do the conversion? Better yet, is it even possible? Thanks.

your gonna need new spring perches on the DJ (mail jeep) axle, due to the larger leafs on your wrangler. The Dj axle also should be a few inches narrower I think, tho that may not be a big deal to you. Post some pictures.

Thanks, anything else you can think of, let me know. It currently has a Chevy big block in it and runs the 1/4 in 11 flat. I'm changing out the diff because I want to lighten it up as much as possible to get it quicker. Once I get some pics I'll post them.

Just wondering if you have a death wish? It's a top heavy, short wheelbase vehicle and you're drag racing with it.

Is it possible to use the Mail Jeeps leaf springs? If they fit, I wouldn't need to play with the perches then.

Well, after 3 months I FINALLY have the Jeep at home. I found a US mail jeep to do the swap, but it really looks like it's going to be too tedious. Therefore, can anyone tell me which front diff will bolt in that is the lightest in weight?

I dont know why noone has said this already but they made 2WD XJ s and ZJ and both of those axles will fit iwidth wise ..But they are both set up for coil springs..SO you will either have to cut the coil spring stuff off or convert your Jeep to coils..

It would be pretty easy to shave down the 2WD axles and just weld on perches for the Leaf springs...

The lug pattern would be different but for a staight liner its not that big a deal..

What rear axle are you running??? What motor and tranny????

OH and that Ebay link .....

Thats one of those craptacular Renegades isnt it???

I love the line ..

I just wish he would have done that to a Hummer or a Volkwagen.. _________________BONE STOCKUnless you include the sawzall work..
